This release focused on further fine tuning the installer for smoother operation and enhanced functionality. You may notice that I have not added many "new features” but the existing features have greatly improved and the few new features that have been added are very useful refinements. I am considering this to be the first "Stable” release of the myHack installer and thus the beginning of the official 1.0 branch.
Note: It will take longer to run than previous versions due to a modified version of pfix 3.0 being run during post installation. This has been done to ensure absolute error-free installation. Just wait patiently and an installation succeeded message will be displayed when these scripts have completed, do not exit the installer prematurely!
